Demon Slayer: The Naruto Hashira is a pure villain!

Are you bored?

After writing this sentence, Yayoi folded the note into a small square and handed it to Sanemi behind her.

After waiting for a long time, Sanemi still hadn't replied.

Undeterred, Yayoi wrote another one.

Are you listening attentively?

Still no response.

Suppressing her anger, Yayoi wrote another sentence on the paper.

Want to grab something to eat after we're done?

Sanemi, like a dead man, took the note, unfolded it, read it, and then put it away without saying a word.

Yayoi didn't even turn her head; she could tell Sanemi's series of movements just by listening.

Well, damn it, I really thought you were paying attention in the meeting and didn't even look at the notes!

You've read my message but aren't replying, huh? Shinazugawa Sanemi, you're something else!

Yayoi's handwriting was tinged with anger as she lowered her head and wrote furiously, which pleased Kagaya greatly.

Yayoi has really made great progress. Not only did she not argue with herself at this meeting, but she also took the initiative to take notes.

Indeed, people do grow and mature.

Finally, the day has come when Yayoi became sensible.

Yayoi didn't care what Kagaya was thinking at all. She wrote the whole thing with such fervor that she forgot all her feelings. If the sticky notes hadn't been so small, Yayoi would have cursed Sanemi from head to toe.

Wow, seriously, buddy? Not replying to read messages is a real turn-off.

You bastard, you think you're all that because Qian Tu is backing you up?

Huh? Those who don't uphold male virtues should be drowned in pig cages or thrown into ponds!

If you don't go back, you'll never see my mother again!

From this day forward, you are expelled from the family genealogy!

The content was longer and contained more words, making it more difficult for Shimi to read the note.

While trying to avoid being discovered by his lord, he lowered his head and glanced sideways, trying hard to decipher the contents of the note word by word.

There are too many characters I don't recognize.

The second to last sentence is straightforward enough to be understood.

I can't see... Mom?!

Chapter 79: The matter of the fiancé being a father-in-law

Sanemi frowned in frustration. After hesitating for a while, he took advantage of the moment when the people in the front row were having a heated discussion about how to change the final selection method and poked Yayoi in the back.

What the hell are you talking about?!

Yayoi turned her head and glanced at Sanemi. Still angry, Yayoi didn't want to see this annoying guy at all.

Turning around, he quickly scribbled down another note and tossed it to Sanemi behind him.

I will not give you another chance to explain! Absolutely!

Before Yayoi could retract her hand, Sanemi swiftly grabbed Yayoi's wrist.

Yayoi tried to pull hard, but couldn't.

Wow, this guy's got some strength.

Before he could carry out his evil plan to grab Sanemi's wrist and set his bones, a tickling sensation came from his palm.

Why is this dog scratching my palm? Is it sick?

Sitting behind Yayoi, Sanemi anxiously recalled the characters that Kurokin had taught her to write.

The more anxious I am, the less I can remember.

I should have studied it properly back then.

【すみません】

When Yayoi was writing the third scribbled character, she belatedly realized that she was actually writing characters.

Even a dog would shake its head at this stroke order; Zenitsu, who's barely a kid, writes it better.

Hmm... Could this guy be illiterate?

Fortunately, Yayoi had a good memory and managed to memorize the symbols that Sanemi had drawn on her palm, which were not exactly words, and deduced what Sanemi wanted to express.

sorry?

Yayoi didn't pull her hand back; she finished writing new content on the notepad resting on her lap with one hand.

You can't write? If so, draw a circle on your hand.

The message was short and contained no difficult-to-read words. After glancing at it, Sanemi drew a circle in Yayoi's hand without hesitation, and even added an extra circle in case Yayoi didn't notice.

Well... he's practically illiterate.

What a waste of all the notes I wrote for him; this idiot probably can't even understand them.

Thinking of this, Yayoi sighed helplessly.

Immediately, the alarm bells rang loudly in Sanemi.

If I can't write... will Yayoi look down on me?

Before Yayoi could withdraw her hand, Sanemi stopped her again, straightened Yayoi's slightly curled fingers, and quickly wrote a few words she knew how to write on Yayoi's palm.

【べます（I can do it）】

Shimi couldn't remember the word "learn" at all, and he was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead.

It was obvious that Sanemi still had something to write, but Yayoi had no patience to wait for the illiterate man behind her to remember, so she pulled her hand back.

"Your arms will get really sore if you keep your hands behind your back. Doesn't this idiot know that?" Yayoi rubbed her slightly sore arms.

While still racking his brains trying to remember, Sanemi suddenly found his hand empty. He was stunned, and his hand fell limply to his side, a buzzing sound ringing in his ears.

Were you rejected...?

A few seconds later, another note was slammed onto his knee.

Sanemi hurriedly unfolded the note and struggled to read its contents.

I'm sleepy, I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up when it's over.

fine……

Fold the note up and, just like the previous ones, carefully tuck it into your pocket.

Kuang Jin, who witnessed the entire process—

No, is this still the highest-level Pillar Meeting of the Demon Slayer Corps?

Is it appropriate for you two to slack off so openly?

"Wake up... Yayoi, the meeting is over."

After Kagaya left, Sanemi poked Yayoi in front of him, offering a gentle wake-up call.

However, it was all for naught.

Yayoi, who had mastered the art of catching fish, slept peacefully.

"Hey, you can't call him that, Shinazugawa."

The kind-hearted Sabito moved closer to Sanemi and shared his experience with him.

"Peaches are easy to buy at this time of year. Although they may not taste as good as the peaches that Yayoi brought back from Momoyama, they are still somewhat useful."

"You have to be like me..."

Sabito held up a peach that he had prepared at some unknown time in front of Yayoi's nose.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Yayoi's nose twitched, and before she even opened her eyes, she took a bite of the peach.

"Huh? It's over so quickly? I haven't even had my third dream yet." Yayoi reached out and caught the peach she was holding in her mouth, chewing as she asked Sabito, who was "atoneing for his sins."

"Oh, it's over. Kanae is in a hurry to go back and take care of some things. She said she'll have Hanamaru send the meeting minutes back to you later." Sabito saw that Yayoi was really awake, so he also stood up, supporting himself on his knees.

"Alright, my mission is complete. Giyu even invited me to eat salmon and radish, so I won't spar with you this time. Let's wait until next time."

Yayoi, engrossed in munching on the peach in her hand, didn't have much time to pay attention to Sabito and waved her other hand to let him go.

Click, click.

"Kuwajima, see you next time," Tengen greeted Yayoi.

"Hmm." Yayoi couldn't get a word out.

Click, click.

"Namo..."

Before Xingming could finish speaking, Yayoi swallowed the peach in her mouth and waved at Xingming, "Okay, okay, I understand, Mr. Beimingyu, see you later."

After seeing off one person after another, the conference room quieted down, and Yayoi, without any burden, sat cross-legged and finished eating the peach in her hand.

All that was left in her hand was the bare peach pit, and Yayoi was now fully awake.

"Alright, let's go home!"

I was just about to get up and find a place to bury the peach pit when I was startled by a voice behind me.

"Give it to me."

“No,” Yayoi turned her head and saw that Sanemi and Kōchika were still standing there. “Why haven’t you two left yet?”

“We are here to see Shimi,” Kuang Jin explained.

Yayoi shifted her gaze to Sanemi, who was standing next to Kuroki. "What about you? Why aren't you leaving?"
